This week there are a good amount of interesting secrets, so here is my review of them.
"Why oh why do we have to be cousins? What do we do now?" over a picture of two people holding hands. From Arrested Development: this
"I'm afraid I'm smoking away my future." with a drawing of a marijuana leaf. If you're worried about it, you probably are indeed smoking away your future.
"In attempts of getting her youth back, my mom wears thongs. It grosses me out!" Well, I assume you aren't actually looking at your mother when she's just wearing thongs and no pants? So it's more the idea that grosses this person out. But you can't control other people's underwear choices, so it's probably best to just let this go.
"I feel like a failure as a parent because I can't afford to bring my daughter to Disney. (other side) Forever stuck in Pennsylvania" I think more context is needed to accurately judge this - if the daughter has strongly expressed interest in going to Disney then it makes more sense, but if this parent just feels like taking their kid to Disney is some kind of goal they think would make them a better parent, then it's sort of silly. There are plenty of ways to be a good parent that don't involve Disney. I'm not so sure about there being particularly interesting things in Pennsylvania (Hershey Park, maybe??), but I do know that there are interesting things in Maryland and DC, which is not as far away as Disney.
"I've always wanted to find a dead body" Now this one I can get behind. I also somewhat have the desire to find a dead body. I think it could be interesting if that happened to me. Although depending on the state of the dead body it could also be some degreee of disturbing.
"People always talk about how college was the best time of their lives but it kind of sucks." Fair enough. Especially when being
"I've been losing things recently...... in my tiny apartment..." Maybe someone is breaking in and taking the things, or maybe it's dementia or something.
"Almost everyone in my office reminds me of someone famous. It makes me wonder who I remind them of." This one is a nice secret (although it doesn't exactly scream "secret" material - as in, this doesn't seem like something you'd necessarily need to keep secret. Maybe from the coworkers in this scenario so as not to seem possibly weird, but certainly you could tell your friends and stuff) because I also look at people sometimes and think they look like other people, which sometimes only I can see the resemblance to.
"a fear: what if my art never means anything to anyone but myself?" I think that if a person happens to see an artwork, they can ascribe their own meaning to it. I guess not necessarily every artwork will cause someone to see meaning in it, but if you display/share your art to other people, the chance is higher that someone who sees it will decide that it means something to them. Like Andy Warhol. Imagine all the different things that people think the soup can paintings mean! And they're just ordinary soup cans!
"None of the artwork made sense, but being there with you did." I would like to think that I can at least attempt to make sense of any artwork that I see, unlike this person. Try me.
That's it for this week's secrets, and look at me, getting this post done in a timely manner in relation to when the secrets were posted!
